Is you ear attuned to the Divine music of the Kingdom of God?

Answer 1

I`m thinking this question is some what of a deluding one? As christ said let any one with an ear let him listen. The same can be said for other parts of the body. A hand won`t stop being a hand if it loses a finger and such. Come to think of it, if you literrally take some of the things that were said in the past the world woould be a different place. It could be I`m not being simple enough and have just now left the bounds of reallity though. Any way there are certain types of music that move my spirit, as for the divine music of the kingdom of god? As it is not of an earthly origin, then I take you are refering to the liberation of the soul through deep meditation and I can dig that. If I`ve got it wrong then laugh out loud hee hee

Answer 2

I used to have what could be commonly referred to as elevator music in my head. All day long I was tuned to the music of Mantovani and 1,001 strings at a very low volume. After my last major bout with Bronchitis however, it turned into tinnitus. I don't appreciate the tinnitus, but I don't really miss the elevator music either. I think it's a slight improvement. As to the Divine Music of the Kingdom of God, I'm afraid that I am not yet close enough to the gates to separate it from the traffic noise, but I'd like to think that I would know it if I heard it.

Answer 3

Hmm... Which god? which god's kingdom?

"My ear is attuned" to the music of JS Bach, D.Scalrlatti, Handel, Mozart, Schuman, Chopin, Beethoven, Schubert, and Mahler. If your heavenly choir is performing Bach cantatas or Brahm's Ein Deutches Requiem well, with a conductor comparable to Karajan or Bruno Walter, I'd tune in!

And my ear is also attuned to great literature. Surely Yahweh could have chosen far far better writers to compose the Christian bible! Some of the Psalms are great literature (and erotic), but nothing I've read in the Christian bible can even begin to compare to the writings of Montaigne, Miltion, or Whitman. Surely a god would want its words to be equal to those of mere earthlings.

Yes, I'm an atheist. You are too if there's a god you don't believe in or whose existence you "deny" (& as Allah is as vicious as Yahweh, I'd advise caution). There are so many, and not only the Abrahamic, patriarchal sky gods and all the dying-rising savour demigods upon whom your Christ was built. (The Chrisitan Trinity itself is polytheistic, unless you resort to sophistry.) I just believe in one less god than you do. (my apologies to s. roberts--it's just so obvious)

Hate me or 'prey' for me or both. Fine by me so long as I can keep my ear attuned to lovely music and literature that fills my heart. ~ My 6 yr old niece already loves the more accessible music of Tchaikovsky! :) With such beauty in the world--the wonders of nature and science, great art, small children still filled with wonder, and human kindness--why seek mediocrity in mythology? To do so is rather sad.

Answer 4

Hi Rena, I am truly searching for salvation.To walk the right path,And hopefully receive the gifts from God, to hear the great beauty of the divine,the true music of the lord.

Answer 5

My ear is attuned to the music that exists in the universe without imposition of human concepts, to the extent possible. It is a bit like your power and importance question. It is probably not possible to completely avoid the temptation to be in love with them. It helps if one continually remembers that it is there, and that yielding to it has bad consequences.

In the same way, the hubris of human conceptualization is destructive to perception and has often been very destructive of human life and happiness.

Answer 6

Indeed Rena i even sing the divine music of the Kingdom of God because singing along with it is the one of highest form of prayer to God.

God bless you always, Third P.

Answer 7

Yes yes it is....and it is beautiful, but i don't hear it with my ears, i feel it through my whole body....and I don't claim god to be a KING, that limits god with HUMAN concepts, god doesn't have a kingdom, god IS all...everything, and that word god has caused more problems than it has solved, but it's okay cuz I kow what you meant

Answer 8

If you mean religious music no. I'd rather have my bald head rubbed with sand paper. if you be being in touch with something greater than this reality or beyond it, well, I'd like to be in tune to that.

Answer 9

i read/ sing one or more of the psalms everyday. the idea is that the psalms were sent to us, and we, in turn, are to echo them back to God in worship and praise. if there's divine music, i'd say that's it.
